Topic: RE: Comparing weight loss
Boy am I glad I saw this message board, I have been loosing very slowly as well and I though I was doing something wrong. I had my surgery March 18, 03 and I am down about 48lbs and It is very disapointing when others have lost much more.
I know I should not feel this way but I can't help myself.
I would like to know from any one what I can do to over come this feeling.
Thank you
Pam

Hi, I'm Marilyn and I had my Lap RNY WLS on March 27, 2003. My BMI was just at 60 and I weighed in at 341.5lbs and so far I've only lost about 41lbs. I'm very disappointed with my weight lost because everyone that is around my surgery date has lost betweeen 50-70lbs. I'm a very slow loser and just don't know what else to do. I exercise 5 days a week at the health club, I drink plenty of water and get in my protein and vitamins. Overall I'm still glad that I'm losing and not gaining and is very thankful for this. Many Blessings, Marilyn in Lexington, KY.

Hi Sally. You are doing great. I had my surgery on 3/24/03. I started out at 317 and I am 5'5". My BMI was over 56. I have lost 71 lbs. Haven't seen my doctor since my two month check up. I have an appt on my 4 month anniversary. Hope to be down close to 80 by that point but am not disappoint in where I am. Keep up the good work and don't worry about compareing yourself to others. Everyone loses differently.

I was 257 lbs at 5' 4" with a BMI of 43 prior to my surgery on March 26, 2003. I've loss 56-58 lbs which the Dr. says is okay but more than the 1/3 that you're suppose to loss at 3 months. How are you 3/26 people doing??

Hi Marilyn. My Dietitation recommended that I take Caltrate Plus 600. These are chewable and not bad! Hope this helps!

Topic: RE: Calcium Question
Hi Marilyn...I found liquid calcium citrate. Comes in three diff flavors. You have to go to a nutriton store to get it though. I used 2 tabls with my OJ in the morning. My nails are so long and strong. I could never grow nails before my surgery. See if you have a Fruitful Yeild store in your area. Or go on line and try to find it...It's about 10.00 a bottle lasts 3-4 weeks. Great stuff. No pain!

My doctor has me eating the Tums Ultra for calcium. They disolve very fast and really don't taste that bad! Hope this helps.
Topic: Calcium Question
Hi Everyone....I was told that my alkaline phosphaste (SP?) was kind of high and that I needed to start taking the citracal calcium pills instead of my viactiv. Well I went out and purchased some citracal and the pills are huge. Can anyone recommend a good calcium citrate that absorbs in our new stomachs and is easy to swallow?
